First In-Store Sales Event

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving...whew! Went by so fast, where does the time ago..now we are already getting ready for Christmas and the New Year that follows...

My family and I have been so blessed with so many things this year...a few wrongs went right and after a few years with a dark cloud hanging over our heads, everything is falling into place...A few weeks ago an unexpected message popped in my Facebook Inbox, a new vintage store owner (Darling Stewardess) had invited me to be a guest vendor for their Black Friday Sales event! I was ecstatic! Of course, I would do it! 

I knew I would have to replenish my inventory and finish them up within just a few short weeks...honestly, with school, my full-time job, my family and just everyday things, well not to mention it was on Thanksgiving night...it seemed so impossible! I proved myself wrong because my husband and I worked like a team, and our good friends helped us out a long the way! I have an AMAZING support team...and that's just an understatement!

Anyways, I knew I had to have my bigger pieces for that sales event, and the city of Minot doesn't offer very much selection especially when it comes to the type of furniture I like...

During my sales event, I had a few of my regular clients lined up and ready to make their purchases, I also had an opportunity to meet fans from my Facebook page that gave me sweet compliments..and some shared what they would like to see more from me! That in itself made the event a success for me! I loved the interaction I had with people who were curious about Little Shabby History!

Would I do it again even with all the craziness that comes with sales preparation? IN A HEART BEAT.
It was awkward coming home and not having to paint...but I know I just need a little break! But you never know...I may just do a small ONLINE Christmas Sales event of my own and post some pieces on my page! If you don't want to miss out on what I have in store for all you...CLICK HERE and follow me!!!

Before I end this post, I just wanted to share pictures from the sales event!
Thank you all for your continued support! I asked you all to stay with me in this incredible journey and let's see what the future holds for Little Shabby History, but no matter what happens I am glad it became a huge part of my life...XOXO

Until Next Time!!!

PS: I have a few projects I wanted to share on a different post that will be out very soon! Here is a sneak peak! I love it when ideas pop in my head all day long and my husband gladly offers to help me out! 

Now, this is spur of the moment thing and my husband and I built it as we go...you kinda have to when you have an idea in your head...but I just wanted a quick project to display this awesome wooden metal wall decor I found at a local store without taking too much space...Remember the wooden pallet I used to display my clock? If you can't remember READ IT HERE! Well, I decided to use it for this purpose instead! It just so happens that the pallet color was exactly the same color as the wall decor! I think this idea was even better, don't ya think??!!! Can't wait to update you all on this and see the finish product...I know, I know...why post when I'm not done? Sometimes I get overly excited when some things that went wrong finally went right :)
